Topic: help me pick out computer parts (Read 4955 times)

okay so as you know from my "jackpot" thread i've got a bunch of decent partsI'm not used to shopping upper-end and with the new gpus coming out I'm really out of the loop, i was like thinking of getting a 480 but obviously i feel like that might be a waste considering im getting higher end other parts maybe i need a higher end GPU

Current parts I own:

X99-A Motherboard

Rosewill LIGHTNING 1000w PSU

Intel i7-5820K

What I need:-Case-RAM (8gb probably)-HDD, maybe an SSD if their prices have come down (at the very least like, a 1tb HDD, I probably can't afford a large SSD for gaming.)-CPU cooler, I don't give a damn about overclocking but like this didn't come with a cooler so i can go for a decent one-Graphics card (was thinking 480 but maybe something more powerful so long as it has value)

just because i'm pairing it with the fancy i7 and shit doesn't mean I don't want value still, I'm not looking to spend large money for minimal differences so keep on budget, but yeah if any of you can suggest parts I'd love that because I am really out of the parts loop atm

RX480? If money is an issue, it'll be a perfect GPU for you.16GB RAM is pretty much the new standard. Make sure you get RAM that is able to equip the XMP profile. XMP = eXtreme Memory Profile. This allows your mobo to automatically change your RAM clock speed, so your CPU overclock is isn't clashing with it. Wrong RAM clock speeds can actually inhibit a CPU overclock.
